Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 912
Lucinda’s face went stiff, her cheerful mask threatening to shatter.
Lydia, that snake!
Was she trying to embarrass her on purpose?
Connor had been her fiancé for eighteen years. Lydia had only just come back, yet suddenly everyone was acting like she belonged here.
Lucinda forced a bright smile. “Well, you’re not married yet. I’m waiting for the big day before I start calling him that. Connor will owe me a proper gift when the time comes.” She made sure to say Connor’s name loud and clear, like she wanted everyone to hear it.
She was basically saying Lydia’s spot in the Jefferson family wasn’t guaranteed.
Garrett frowned a little and looked right at her. “Lucinda, Connor and Lydia are engaged and things are going well between them. To keep things clear, you should call him your brother-in-law.”
Kylie nodded, still smiling. “Yeah, Lucinda, that’s what Connor said last time when you brought Caspian home. Let’s just call him brother-in-law from now on.”
Lucinda almost lost it right there.
They were so unfair!
She put on a pitiful face. “I know, I was just joking with Lydia.”
Garrett gave her a look, his voice calm but meaningful. “Lucinda, not everything is as simple as you think. Let’s just eat.”
He thought about everything Lydia had been doing lately. She’d been searching for rare herbs, making antidotes, helping people who’d gotten sick, even risking her own safety to uncover a traitor. All that, just to keep everyone safe. Meanwhile, Lucinda lived in comfort, always scheming and worrying about herself. Garrett couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Why couldn’t Lucinda learn from Lydia for once?
Lucinda’s eyes went red and shiny, her head dropping as if she’d just been terribly wronged. “I get it. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have upset my sister.”
“I’m done,” Lydia said, setting down her chopsticks and standing up to head upstairs.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Kylie and Cameron glanced at each other, worried for Lydia.
“Lydia has that academic competition tomorrow. Let her get some rest,” Garrett reminded them.
“Oh, really? Can we go watch and cheer her on?” Cameron asked, perking up.
Garrett shook his head. “Only students and faculty are allowed. No parents.”
Kylie’s face fell. “Oh, okay. Still, Lydia’s so smart. She’ll definitely win first place.”

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
